A warm and knowledgeable guide to the Parks, concerned about our enjoyment, and a great driver.
Tanzanian Choice Safaris was a dream to work with. The husband-and-wife owners (a Tanzanian man and an American woman who live in the country and frequent the hotels and lodges themselves) were primarily focused on our enjoyment and comfort, and were able to tailor a trip just the way we wanted. And, most importantly, they did not try to oversell us or manipulate our schedule like other companies. The personal touch was apparent from our earliest consultation, to having lunch with them in Arusha, to dropping us at the airport. The jeep was comfortable, the driving was excellent, and everything was top-notch. It was a point of pride for our guide (also the owner) to show us as many animals as he could. All the lodging was great, and the Zanzibar portion of our trip, organized by Tanzanian Choice, was also wonderful. I have nothing but good things to say about Tanzanian Choice and would recommend them heartily to anyone.

Leslie and Tanzania Choice Safaris are absolutely the best!
I scheduled my safari very close to my travel date. Brenda coordinated the trip beautifully, and arranged everything. Leslie, my guide, is the absolute best! He was able to locate animals at an incredible distance, and instinctively knew exactly where to stop to get the ideal view. In addition, he was like an encyclopedia for the various creatures we found. (He had a book available, but generally referenced it only to show me something as a comparison; I think I stumped him only once with a question about ostriches). We were able to see all the usual safari sights; but a number of unusual sights as well (including mama and baby cheetahs, and a serval cat). Leslie just "instinctively" knew where to be and when. He is like a magician!

I paid over $300 cash for my wife and me to go on this safari with a group. My wife had a medical emergency to where I had to stay back with her and were not able to go. We wanted a refund, but was told the money was already given to the park and could not get it back. I was disappointed that we were told to pay in advance and not able go. I am saddened to say that I will not be asking for their services again.

Adventure of a lifetime with Tanzania Choice Safaris
My family of 4 booked a safari to 3 parks with Tanzania Choice based on the recommendation of friends who lived in Tanzania at the time. We are beyond pleased that we did; it was the adventure of a lifetime, even with all the great vacations we have had before and since. Our guide was Kakasii, and he made sure we were in right place at the right time to see an amazing variety and number of animals: hundreds of elephants, plus giraffes, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, and so much more. His knowledge of the parks and the animals' habits ensured we missed nothing and came away learning so much. We will definitely reach out to Kaskasii and Brenda again when we are ready for our next safari adventure. Not only was the safari experience perfect, but Brenda helped us deal with adjusting plans when the airline changed our flights at last minute. They are the best!

Absolutely amazing experience!
Our whole safari was just fantastic. The arrangements from beginning to end were excellent and although the price is not cheap, it was absolutely worth it. Kakasi was a thoroughly knowledgeable guide and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The accommodations were great. The car had chargers so we didn’t worry about running out of batteries—important because we took so many pictures! Kakasi stayed at each animal as long as we wanted. He asked us what we wanted to see and he delivered. I can’t say enough good about the service Tanzania Choice Safaris provides.

Amazing Trip!! Thank you Tanzania Choice Safaris :)
What a dream come true! Brenda and her staff were awesome. Our guides, Noel and his brother Lee, took care of our group from the time we landed at the airport until they took us to the airport door for our return trip home! Brenda worked with our group and made sure our safari was exactly what we were looking for. We had two vehicles with our group of nine and Noel was our driver. He was awesome and so accommodating to our group. Lodging and meals were great. Would definitely recommend Brenda and her staff. If we ever get an opportunity to go back, we will choose Brenda and her staff again! Everything was exactly as Brenda explained to us and there were no issues with our safari. We enjoyed every minute of our safari and our hike to Kilimanjaro. Noel made sure we saw as many animals on our safari as possible. He was great!

So many safari companies to choose from and we thankfully chose Tanzania Choice Safaris!
There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of safari companies vying for your business in Tanzania. When I asked the Community Liaison Office at the U.S. Embassy in Dar, and they commented that they had heard good things about TCS, we took that as a recommendation and went with them. Absolutely everything, from our initial contact and working out the details, to the actual safari experience was 5-star! We did a personal safari, just my wife and I, and went with a deluxe package. This was my 5th safari, first time in Tanzania, and ranks number 1. You can’t go wrong with TCS!!! Highly recommended.

Leslie was absolutely perfect.
Choice Safari came highly recommended, even with big expectations our Safari was turned out to be better than we had hoped. Our tour guide Leslie, was absolutely perfect, allowing the experience to unfold organically while ensuring that we stayed on schedule and out of harms way. Truly a trip of a lifetime!

Personalized service, great guides!
This is my third time using Tanzania Choice Safari. This is an amazing group. They tailor each trip depending on your schedule. I've used all three guides and they are all outstanding. They get you to the best spots to see amazing animals and are incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the safari. The hotels they recommend are outstanding. I have referred multiple groups to this serve and will continue to do so.

JUST FANTASTIC!
From initial trip planning, organization, seamless travel arrangements and an incredible guide this is one of the best travel experience I've had! Brenda was quick with adjustments, giving several lodging options, timely check in's before our arrival. Then once we landed we were greeted by Leslie, a safari guide extraordinare with his friendly smile, vast wildlife knowledge, perfect timing and driving skills in challenging conditions. I would recommend anyone to use Tanzania Choice to create and execute a trip of a lifetime. We will have memories for a lifetime!
